No sleep
No peace
No God in the hallway tonight
I got smoke in my lungs and a scream in my teeth
Whole city wanna choke while it dance to the beat
Clean suit outside but the rot underneath
Every mirror in the room got blood in its speech
Everybody talking pretty while the soul goes numb
Everybody bowing down just to get more crumbs
Every preacher sell fear every dealer sell love
Every billboard screaming “you will never be enough”
Run boy run boy run boy run
Hide that rage till the daylight come
I got hunger in my chest like a loaded gun
But the bullet turn inward when the night time comes
I got shame in my spine and heat in my hands
Trying hard not to turn into a violent man
Bodies in the nightclub sweat in the dark
Everybody kissing like they scared of the dark
Everybody laughing while their eyes look dead
Whole room dancing like the world already ended
Don’t tell me breathe slow!
Don’t tell me calm down!
I hear the whole damn city screaming underground!
BLOOD IN THE DRUM!
Blood in the drum!
Heartbeat kick like a riot in the dark!
BLOOD IN THE DRUM!
Blood in the drum!
Everybody acting holy while they fall apart!
I WANNA HOWL!
I WANNA BURN!
I WANNA WATCH THIS WHOLE ROOM LOSE CONTROL!
Blood in the drum!
Blood in the drum!
You ever smile so long your face stop feeling human?
You ever swallow rage so deep it start tasting sweet?
You ever dance so hard your body forget who you are?
Lord forgive me
I don’t wanna be civilized tonight!
My hands shake!
My teeth grind!
My soul crawl!
My heart bite!
Say my name!
Say my name!
Say my name!
BLOOD IN THE DRUM!
BLOOD IN THE DRUM!
BLOOD IN THE DRUM!
BLOOD IN THE DRUM!
Run! Run! Run!
I WANNA SCREAM TILL MY THROAT TURNS BLACK!
I WANNA DANCE TILL THE WHOLE FLOOR CRACK!
I WANNA FEEL SOMETHING REAL INSIDE!
BEFORE THIS CITY EATS ME ALIVE!

BLOOD IN THE DRUM
MASAQUI
Burning grooves.
Sweat, neon, and a voice screaming into the cosmos.
SOUNDS FROM THE OTHER SIDE revives the explosive spirit of 1970s Black music through a psychedelic modern lens.
Funk, soul, gospel, jazz, and hypnotic ritual rhythms collide in a dazzling sonic experience filled with raw emotion and cosmic energy.
Behind the glitter and groove lies something deeper:
loneliness, desire, spiritual hunger, and the feeling that another world may exist just beyond the speakers.
This is not nostalgia.
It is a transmission from a future haunted by the sound of the past.
Every scream echoes like a sermon.
Every rhythm feels like a revolution.
Every song moves between ecstasy and darkness.
SOUNDS FROM THE OTHER SIDE
A psychedelic soul journey from beyond the mirror.
